In December, TrendForce estimated that virtual reality alone would be worth $70 billion by 2020.

“These explosive growth projections do not sufficiently reflect just how hot the VR industry is right now,” said Jason Tsai, TrendForce analyst, at the time. “The figures do not include the value of non-commercial uses of VR technology.”

Tsai continued: “For example, the industry is currently pushing the development of free software and do-it-yourself apps. While these projects do not immediately generate revenue for developers, they have a vital role in the promotion of market growth and innovations.”Buy Now: Samsung Gear VR at Amazon for £79.50
